Greg,
You could do the following:
1. Create a file containing the holiday dates for your site (i.e.
/SYS/PUB/HOLIDAY)
The dates should be in "yyyymmdd" format and can also contain a
textual description of the holiday.
2. Create the following command file:
setvar _today
![RHT(hpdatef,4)+RHT("0!hpmonth",2)+RHT("0!hpdate",2)]
GREP.HPBIN.SYS "!_TODAY /SYS/PUB/HOLIDAY"
setvar HOLIDAY CJCW = 0
3. Upon executing the command your 'holiday' CI variable will be set
correctly and the qualifying date will be displayed on the $stdlist.
Then its just a matter of keeping the 'holiday' file current. Which would
be easier than keeping the code, below, current.
Regards
Paul Christidis
